A blind boy sat on the steps of
a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said:
"I am blind, please
help."
There were only a few coins in
the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped
them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some
words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new
words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to
the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had
changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognised his footsteps
and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did
you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote
the truth. I said what you said but in a different way. "I wrote:
"Today is a beautiful day; but I
cannot see it."
Both signs told people that the
boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second
sign reminded people how fortunate they were to have their sight. Should we be
surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives
you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face
your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the
future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
It's a beautiful thing to see a
person smiling. But even more beautiful if you are the reason for the smile!
Faith is not about everything turning out OKAY. Faith is about being OKAY no
matter how things turn out.
